Image: PlayStation There are certain sounds that just feel good to the over 30 set. There’s the sound of dial-up internet or the new message jingle on AIM or MSN Messenger. Most of these nostalgic noises have been replaced with new ones or lost to time, but PlayStation has revived one in celebration of its 30th anniversary. Yeah, you know the one. Play this to immediately disarm any gamer over 30. For a limited time, players can customize their PS5 UI using themes from throughout PlayStation’s past. Choose a theme from any of the four previous PlayStation consoles and a special 30th anniversary theme. I’m guessing most players will go with the OG PSX theme while a fair number will likely settle on the PS2. In addition to these slick-ass PS5 themes,... Continue reading…

For the cost of a day’s lunch, it’s worth locking in a for a year even if you don’t know what to watch yet. | Illustration by Grayson Blackmon / The Verge Once upon a time, it made sense to load up on streaming services instead of lengthy and expensive cable contracts. If you’re not careful these days, you can easily find yourself paying just as much to piece your watchlist back together, especially with prices continuing to creep up. That’s why we’re thankful this season for streaming deals like the ones from Hulu, which sets you up with ad-supported streaming for just $1 a month over the next 12 months (normally $9.99 a month, saving $108 on the year), or lets you bundle that with Disney Plus for $3 a month over the same period ($131.88 off). That’s typically a once yearly deal, and your chance to take advantage will promptly leave the station after today. Hulu is one of the best... Continue reading…

In a society where mass incarceration has disproportionately impacted communities of color and the poor, it is time for us to take a bold step towards justice and address the root causes of crime. One such step is to grant a blanket pardon to all criminals in the United States.  While this may seem like an unconventional approach, it is essential to recognize that the current criminal justice system has failed to effectively rehabilitate offenders and reduce recidivism rates. By pardoning all criminals, we would be taking a proactive approach to addressing the underlying cause of crime: that stuff is illegal. If stuff weren’t illegal, then there would be no crime. It’s almost like, duh, why didn’t someone else think of this? There are most likely people who are smarter than me, but here we are. The idea of pardoning all criminals may seem stupid, but it is crucial to consider the long-term benefits of such an action. By removing the stigma of a criminal record, individuals would be more likely to reintegrate into society and become productive members of their communities. This, in turn, would lead to a reduction in crime rates and a more stable, cohesive society.  Moreover, pardoning all criminals would help to address the systemic issues that have led to mass incarceration and the disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. By acknowledging the systemic failures of our criminal justice system, we can begin to work towards creating a more equitable and just society for all.  Critics may argue that pardoning all criminals would send the wrong message and encourage further criminal behavior. But again, if there is nothing against the law, there won’t be any criminals! In conclusion, granting a blanket pardon to all criminals is a bold but necessary step towards creating a more just and equitable society. By addressing the root causes of crime and reducing the stigma associated with a criminal record, we can work towards a future where all individuals have the opportunity to rebuild their lives and become productive members of their communities.
